In a book published a few years ago by the MOuIGH-u] Sunday Move- ment with a. foreword by the lord Bishop of Southweli, it was stated that great confusion existed as to the true meaning of Mothering Sun- day. One notion was that though -the custom of visiting parents and making gifts to mother was a. good one, it might quite as well be trans- ferred from the Fourth Sunday in Lent to any other day in the year. "The outcome of such an opinion is the American Mothers‘ Day, which is kept on the second Sunday in May." The author states that most of the opinions about the day are true so far as they go, but "none of them express the full significance of Mothering Sunday, which ls, as the name suggests, ‘A Day in Praise of Mothers.‘ "

Whatever be the origin, the Mothers‘ Day movement has become widely popular as an occasion for expressing filial affection, and de- servedly so. 0f human ties the bond between mother and children is the dearest and most lasting. It is fitting that its commemoration should fall on a Sunday, and that praise and thanksgiving should go hand In hand with the outpouring of love and gratitude.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Conventions are now the order of the day.

Thanksgiving is to be rendered in all British churches tomorrow for the successful celebration of the Kings Silver Jubilee.

It may be significant that while Hon. H. H. Stevens is spreading his economic gospel at public demon- strations and in churches, Hon. C. H. Cahan is using service club luncheons for his propaganda.

We ean be lure that Viceroy: and Governors will be only too be limited and constitutional and not to bc forced to use their reserve powers. It is for Indiana to bring this about from the start, and

' to turn a deaf ear to the perverse

advice of I. contemporary who writes: “Despite the safeguards,‘ re- straints and reservation; embodied in the proposed constitution it will not be difficult for Indian political brains to discover loopholes, create them where necessary, take the fullest advantage of them. and ex- haust the oil that lubricstes, and bring the entire machinery to a standstill." This seems a poor use for Indian brains. but there could be no franker admission that the British would indeed be brainless i.f they launched a Constitution with- out zeal safeguards. - Calcutta Statesman.

The Cairo museum has acquired a silver dice box with which Ro- man soldiers gambled four hundred years before the christian era, and a dispatch says that this box, un- earthed in Nubia. is the only piece of its kind ever w be found in that part of the world.

Pius XI . . . has seen the wisdom of making his protest now. It was a stern warning to those "willing to push to suicide, to ruin and ex- termination not only their own nation but a great part of human- ity." The climax of the allocution came in the declaration of the Pope that if the desire to commit the “nefarious crime" persisted he could only pray God to “scatter those peoples who desire war." This will. of course, be accepted as a warning to _Hitler.—-New York Bun.

Britain will equal the German air force. ‘Phat is to be expected if, as Mr. Baldwin says. “the Rhine is the British frontier." All the great Powers of Europe are simultaneous- 1y increasing their forces on air, land and sea. when they begin to redum them simultaneously. each Power will be relatively as strong as ever, and will ease it; financial burden. But that assumes a victory for common sense, which may be remote.

Admission of women to the min- istry of the United Church of Can- ads has been approved by a large majority of presbytories throughout Canada, since the question was sub- mitted to them for their opinion. Sixty-two presbyteriea have adopt- ed resolutions in favor of opening the ministry to women, and only 15 have opposed the principle. There are altogether 114 presbyttries, and even if all those which have not already reported on the question were to vote against it, there would still be a majority in favor.

Amid all the talk about ‘how far Roosevelt has slipped, the fact should not be overlooked that the President has just achieved a major triumph. This week he signed the gigantic 84.880.000.000 work relief bill, the principal measure on his immediate programme. And he got it on his own terms, with but little compromise. Thus the plan to pay "prevailing wages" on all relief work undertakings was struck out. except as applied to the construc- tion of Federal Government build- ings.

Even when the individual may

M. Carpenter. Boston. and his associates Drs. R. S. Hoskln and F. A. Hitchcock. is recorded in the Journal of Physiology,

They measure‘ the breathing (exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide) the pulse rate, the number of breaths per minute, and the blood Drfisflllre in a person lying quietly and having had no- food for 16 hours. g

They then had him slightly tense his muscles, which increased his breathing and heart rate, and raised his blood pressure. He did this so quietly that as far as his observers could see there was no effort on his part. The increases produced were from 13 to 32 per cent in the amount 0f OXYIzen used. from i’! to 26 in the pulse rate, from 28 per cent in the high or systolic pressure and from 4to27 peroentinthelowordias- tolic pressure.
